Lazarus Awakening

Have you ever felt like no body appreciates you? Or better like the people that you expect to love, they seem not to love you? Like the people you hoped they cared, they seem not to...?
You believe that God loves the world… But sometimes you wonder if He truly loves you.


Alright! I had this burden in my heart, and I don't deny to still having it. This was the thing that God wanted me to deal with, and I am still dealing with it. Two weeks ago I really felt this strong burden, that no body really loves and cares for me. The people I hoped that they would do, seemed so indifferent and doing the exact opposite thing. I was in distress. I remember one Saturday, I was eating my lunch, and right there, I tried to hide my tears from Ma because I really felt unloved. After eating I ran to my room and cried in pain to the Lord asking to take away that burden. The more I was asking to take it away, the more my heart was getting heavier. 
But there I have been reminded of His great Love, that if I would try to define and describe it I would lessen its very essence and I would just terribly fail. 


God led me to read the book I bought when I was in Canada. Its title is "Lazarus Awakening". And thank God, He spoke through the story of the dead man, yet the man Jesus loves the most!


 For many of us, moving the truth of God’s love from our heads to our hearts is a lifelong process. As we consider our inadequacies or grieve our shattered dreams, we find it difficult to believe that God cares for us personally. 


Jesus loves you apart from anything you accomplish, apart from anything you bring. Just as He called Lazarus forth to new life, Jesus wants to free you to live fully in the light of His love, unbound from the graveclothes of fear, regret, and self-condemnation. 

Hei, you... LOVE is calling your name :)
